Under both President George H.W. Bush and President Clinton, it was raised four times. Under President George W. Bush, it was raised seven times. And so far, under President Obama, it has been raised on four occasions.

The debt ceiling was raised seven times under the Bush administration (from 2000-2008).From a Sept 2008 CBS story: "Buried deep in the hundred pages of bailout legislation is a provision that would raise the statutory ceiling on the national debt to $11.315 trillion. It'll be the 7th time the debt limit has been raised during this administration.

Did Barack Obama made new laws?
No, he did not. Under the American system of government, a president can propose or suggest a new policy, and he can advocate for something he would like to see become a law. But he cannot make any laws. Only congress can do that. Congress votes on a bill, and if the bill gets enough votes, it becomes a law. After that happens, the president can either sign it or veto it. But the laws themselves still come from the congress.

How much debt did Obama put us in?
The national debt was 10.6 trillion when Obama took office in 2009. It is now 16.7 trillion, a rise of 57%. Under Bush, the debt rose 38%. While some believe Obama did not put us in any debt, blaming the Bush administration and Congress, and citing the extremely unpopular bank bailout and The Republican House voting repeatedly to increase spending for "corporate welfare and tax cuts for the rich" after the 2010 elections, the "Cash for Clunkers" and other programs, including the unpopular Affordable Healthcare Law, were passed under Obama's presidency. While some point out that Obama reduced the number of federal employees, others counter that the Affordable Health Care Bill added more government positions. There is also the issue of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars starting under Bush, but Bush is not responsible for the wars continuing under Obama, adding huge amounts to the national debt. The bottom line is while neither president was totally alone in increasing the debt, after all Congress needs to get the "credit" that is due to them, the national debt increased under Bush and is increasing at an even greater rate under Obama.
